Overview

Drawing on past speculation and present knowledge, reproductive biologist David Bainbridge conducts us through the 40 weeks of a human pregnancy, from conception to breastfeeding, explaining the complex biology behind human gestation in a clear manner. ""Making Babies"" shows how the study of human pregnancy can help us understand our genesis as individuals and our evolution as a species, and provides insight into who we are and why we behave as we do.

Reviews

[Bainbridge] covers his subject like an academic reporting for the National Enquirer . His eye for the sensational and amusing aspects of pregnancy, combined with his understated sense of humor, results in a more digestible--but still solidly scientific--read. -- Bethany Torode Books & Culture (01/01/2002)
